“I want you to worry less because everything is going to be fine. There is no way Oscar is going to refuse you, not even now that you are expecting his second child.”
“Remove your mind from any negative thoughts and you will see that everything will go better than expected.”
“I am so happy for you and proud of you. I wish I could hug you right now.”
Vicky smiled. “Thank you, Lara. We can hang out tomorrow if you are not busy.”
“Yes, I will come to the house after work tomorrow.”
“I will be expecting you. How is Gabriel?”
“Gabe is fine. He is being a bit stubborn about everything but he is fine.”
“He stepped out to get a few things at the store but he will be back soon.”
“I miss him. I never imagined a day would come that I would go days without talking to him.”
“It is just for the meantime, Sis. I know he misses you too. But I am sure he is going to come around.”
“I hope so,” Vee whispered.
“Thank you for being there for him. It means a lot to me.”
“You and Gabriel mean so much to me so I am going to do whatever I can to protect you both.”
“Oh, looks like your brother just pulled up.”
“Okay, I will leave you both to make Babies!”
“Vee!” Lara groaned but Victoria could picture her smiling which was exactly what she was doing.
“Sophie had always been a good girl. Don’t you think it is high time you rewarded–her with a baby cousin?”
“I will keep that in mind”
“That’s good to hear.”
“I got to go. See you tomorrow and kisses to my babies.”
“Sure, Goodnight, Sis.” She said, ending the call.
Victoria was so excited that she was almost not hungry but because she had a very precious person who relied on her for growth, She knew she had to eat something.
Vicky exited her room and proceeded to the kitchen. She took out ingredients and made herself some mac and cheese since that was what she was craving.
She retired to her room after 15 minutes of occupying herself with the TV, She took her medications and crawled into bed.
Cuddled under her duvet and surfing through her phone, Vicky found herself on her browser, putting Oscar’s name in the search box and clicking the search button. She fought a smile and her hand instantly caressed her belly as soon as his pictures came up.
*Anything else on the list?” Oscar asked his secretary as they rounded up the brief meeting they were having in the
conference room.
“No Sir, that is all on your schedule for the month. And you need to give a response by the end of today if you would be available to join your partners in Germany for the business meeting over the weekend.”
“Yeah, about that!” Oscar sighed, massaging his temple. “I am not a hundred percent certain that I would be going but inform the pilot that we need to be in Germany by the weekend, just in case I change my mind.”
“I will do that, Sir.”
“You still haven’t heard anything about Greg?” Oscar asked his Secretary with curious eyes.
“His assistant wouldn’t reveal where he is. But I spoke to a stall member who said Mr Greg might be out of the country.”
“He traveled out without informing me?” Oscar frowned, staring at his secretary with nothing but confusion all over his face.
She shrugged. “That is what I was told Sir. The person may be wrong but that was the only information I got.”
“I hope he is doing okay because I can’t get through to his sister too.”
“Hopefully, Sir. But I will continue to investigate and see what I can find.”
“Thank you, Oscar mumbled, rising to his feet.
“You also have a visitor, Sir,” Susan said, standing up too, picking up her tab from the table.
“Who?” Oscar said, walking towards the door.
“Your sister, Sir.”
“How long has she been waiting?”
“About twenty minutes.”
“Continue working on what I gave you earlier and please report to me in an hour.”
“Okay, sir.”
One of the guards opened the door for Oscar and he exited the conference room with a hand in his pocket.
A few staff greeted him along the way but he didn’t give any response and neither did he look at them twice. From the side of his eyes. Oscar could also see a few female staff gawking at him but he couldn’t care less.
With a straight face, he continued to walk in the direction of his office with two of his guards behind him. When he got to his Office, one of the guards opened the door for him..
Oscar saw Fedora seated on the couch in the visitor area with her attention on her phone.
Her lips curved into a smile when she saw her brother. She rose to her feet and approached him. The duo met halfway and before Oscar could say anything. She pulled him into a hug
“Please get off me, Fedora.” Oscar groaned.
“No.” She clung to him tighter.
“I can’t breathe.”
“Shut
up and hug me back.”
Knowing his elder sister was not going to let go, Oscar rolled his eyes and returned the hug for a second after which he pulled away and she let go of him.
“You look horrible!” Fedora said, staring intently at her brother.
“Thank you.” He answered immediately, crashing on the long couch his sister was previously seated.
She turned to him. “I’m serious, Oscar.”
“Why are you here?”
“No. 1 refuse to believe that you are asking me that question.”
“Thave a lot of work to do, Dora. And if you are here, that means it is for something important. Let’s get it done with so we can go our separate ways.”
Icame all the way here to see you and this is what I hear from you?” She folded her arms, challenging.
“Whatever it is, we could have as well discussed it on the phone.”
“Yeah, definitely! But that would only happen if you had answered your call. I reached out to your Secretary too to leave
you a message but you never returned my calls or responded to my messages.”
